Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Trump's plan to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder is a disgrace. This action could weaken extreme-weather forecasting & preparedness, undercut U.S. leadership in atmospheric science, & put hundreds of CO jobs & a major engine of research collaboration at risk.

We must not weaken the science and forecasting that keeps communities safe. Call or write your members of Congress and ask them to protect NCAR’s mission and funding.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
